Approve Reject decision within an email

I am looking to permit managers to receive an email to approve a request. Within the email, (PC, mobile device, tablet) I’d like the mgr to be able to approve/reject (with or without comment) from the email and have the response information populate a database.

Very broadly, one option would be:

  • include html buttons for your approve/reject options
  • have those buttons link to an api endpoint with appropriate query string, keys, etc
  • have your api handle whatever business logic (save to db, etc) it needs to

That leaves a lot of detail to be filled in, but the broad strokes are simple.
